Are the refractive index and the speed of light in a vacuum direct propotional or inversley

1 answer:

5 0

The refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of light in it. As the refractive index of a medium increases, the speed of light going through that medium decreases.

A high-pass filter consists of a 1.66 μF capacitor in series with a 80.0 Ω resistor. The circuit is driven by an AC source with

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor $C=1.66\ \mu F$

Resistor $R=80.0\ \Omega$

Peak voltage = 5.10 V

(A). We need to calculate the crossover frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi R C}$

Where, R = resistor

C = capacitor

Put the value into the formula

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times80.0\times1.66\times10^{-6}}$

$f_{c}=1198.45\ Hz$

(B). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = \dfrac{1}{2f_{c}}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=V_{0}(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{R^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC})^2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times\dfrac{1}{2}\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=2.280\ Volt$

(C). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = f_{c}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=3.606\ Volt$

(D). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = 2f_{c}$

Using formula of $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times2\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=4.561\ Volt$

Hence, This is the required solution.

2 ways to change frictional force between 2 objects

Zanzabum

In order to change the frictional force between two solid surfaces, it can be changed by shorter distances and by the amount of weight it has or the amount of force that is pushing that object to go however distance it can.
